RFC 3495 specifically allows for schemes that do not act as locators; cf
section 2.3:

"Schemes that are not intended to be used as locators SHOULD describe how the
resource identified can be determined or accessed by software that obtains a
URI of that scheme." (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4395)

The description in this case would take the form of a mapping of wiki:// URIs
to the set of URLs currently usable for retrieving or editing the article.

The expectation is not that wiki:// URIs would replace URLs in browsers, but
that the scheme would specify a stable, permanent, protocol-independent way of
addressing wiki content, irrespective of the means of its retrieval.

Right; for that reason, the current set of interwiki link short forms would
serve as the starting point for the top-level naming authority for wikis, as
described in section 2.2.

Tbh what you want sounds more like a request for urn support.

I don't think your comparisons are very good. BitCoin and SecondLife have their
own custom protocols. Hence they have a custom scheme to point to the location
of the resource. Without the scheme there is no other way to address anything
via URI.

And as for git. git:// is only used when git's custom protocol is being used.
When GIT uses ssh it uses ssh:// urls, and when it uses HTTP or HTTPS http://
and https:// are used.

The use of interwiki prefixes as hosts is also not a sound idea. Interwiki
prefixes are non-global. An absolute url is not supposed to be relative to
where you use it.
